Weird things are happening in my brain this morning. After
reading this thread, I was replying to something unrelated
and had the occasion to use the phrase "It's on my list"...
and I briefly wondered whether I should use the word
"tuple" instead!

Somehow "It's on my tuple" doesn't have quite the same
ring to it. So, yes, tuples ARE different from lists...
